Maybe you Know Captain Tsubasa, it is a very popular manga and animation. It was originally created by Yōichi Takahashi.

And he was born and raised in Yotsugi, the same town I was born, raised and now I live in. Takahashi is many years my junior in primary school and junior high school.

So there are many small statues of characters of Captain Tsubasa in my town.

The photo is the one of Kojiro Hyuga.
